TLDR
This paper showed that under forecasted changes in temperature and precipitation, there could be a decline of economically valuable species, which would lead to a loss in the value of European forest land.Abstract:
European forests are threatened by climate change with impacts on the distribution of tree species. Previous discussions on the consequences of biome shifts have concentrated only on ecological issues; however, research now shows that under forecasted changes in temperature and precipitation there could be a decline of economically valuable species, which would lead to a loss in the value of European forest land.read more

Effects of climate change on the ecological niche of common hornbeam (Carpinus betulus L.)
TL;DR: In this article, the current and future geographical distribution of common hornbeam under different climate scenarios was modeled by applying machine learning techniques and the differences between the predicted current and potential distribution areas of the species in terms of area and location by means of change analysis.

Improving economic management decisions in forestry with the SorSim assortment model
TL;DR: SorSim as mentioned in this paper is an assortment simulator developed for forest practitioners and forest scientists in Switzerland to realistically simulate the sorting of individual trees and entire forest stands based on defined specifications, where the composition of the assortments of the planned harvests can be estimated according to quantity and value.
Journal ArticleDOI
Forest conversion can help to mitigate impacts of climate change on common forest birds
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of climate change and forest conversion options on common forest bird species by employing nation-wide high-resolution models were forecasted and the results gave details on how, where, and for which species forest conversion can mitigate climate change effects.

Evaluation of Growth Simulators for Forest Management in Terms of Functionality and Software Structure Using AHP
TL;DR: In this article, a range of computer models exist for simulating forest growth, with different model functions, spatial resolutions and regional calibration specifications, and the aim of the project is to evaluate a simulator that could be adapted to conditions in Switzerland and used to support decision-making processes in both forest enterprises and scientific contexts.
